APPLE PIE BITES

These incredibly delicious (and easy) Apple Pie Bites are going to be your go-to dessert in a hurry!

Honestly, when I took the first bite… I thought, “how can something this easy be so damn good?”.  In less than 30 minutes you can whip up these tasty little apple pies that are a perfect last-minute Thanksgiving (or anytime!) dessert.

How did I come across this idea?

I was skimming through the cookbook when I came across a recipe very similar to this one.  Whenever I find a recipe that I want to make, I’ll always look for different variations of the recipe and adapt it to make it my own.

This easy recipe starts out with placing Pillsbury crescent rolls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.  You’ll spread a mixture of brown sugar and apple pie spice on the crescent rolls.

Then spread a few chopped pecans onto each crescent roll.

Next, you’ll place an apple slice (that has been dipped in melted butter) on the wide end of each crescent roll.  I left the peeling on my apple slices, but you can also peel the apple if you’d like.

Roll ’em up…

Then bake for 10-12 minutes, or until golden brown.  How easy is that???
